Bucs coach Morris is not satisfied with his players

After Sunday’s 24-0 loss to the New York Giants, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris began to call out players publicly indicated that he was very disappointed with the players’ performance on Sunday night. The names included TE Kellen Winslow, CB Aqib Talib and guard Jeremy Zuttah.


"Should he have squared his shoulders and tried to get the first down?" Morris questioned the desire Winslow on a third-down play Sunday. "Yes. Yes. He has to. We all do. We all have to have that want-to."

As for Talib, Morris thought that he should have picked off that pass in the first drive. And Zuttah shouldn't have jumped offsides on the opening drive. “I hate to call out names,” Morris said, “but that's the reality of what we do. You have to see that stuff.”

Bucs LB Ruud is likely to skip start of mandatory minicamp

For the first time in his five-year career, Buccaneers linebacker Barrett Ruud did not take part in ny of the team's voluntary workouts this offseason. It is speculated that he may not show for the start of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday too, even though he would have to pay $8,000 of fines for missing the activity.

It is reported that Ruud is not the only one who may skip the minicamp. Guard Aaron Sears is dealing with an unspecified personal issue, and quarterback Brian Griese is unhappy with a crowded QB situation that could ultimately lead to his release, so the two are also likely to skip the Tuesday mandatory minicamp.

I am still unsure about the reason for Ruud's missing team activities.
